Oh IgorStrav - nothing would  have stopped my grandma from wearing her best, even  in rural Saskatchewan - regardless of the mosquitoes!! The only time I remember her covering up was to prevent colouring her lovely skin - and of course when it was chilly and then she usually chose fur. Her youngest sister is still alive (86) and still laughs about her sister's proclivity for fancy shoes - and apparently she had many pairs.

Hippy :) :) :) :) :)

RecycledHippy, I hate to impose, but would it be too much to ask you to recolour the back of the dress please? China thinks it was "nude".

Oh my. Thank you very much sussexbb. I think she would have been delighted to see what you've done with her.

Thanks very much Niksmum. I love it. You did a fantastic b&w job on her grandmother (c.1889) last week too. Much appreciated.

Many, many thanks for the touch-up RecycledHippy.

Me too China. I try to console my husband that I come by my love of shoes genetically. My other grandma has (yep, present tense - she just celebrated her 100th birthday) loves her jewelery so I use that excuse too. Poor hubby. He just grins & humours me.
